Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Struggling to break a weight-loss plateau? Try this 20 minute walking workout at home to see physical changes in your body in a short period of time. You can get in a great workout in just 20 minutes a day. In today's workout, we'll warm up for 5 minutes with 15 second exercise changes. After 5 minutes, we'll walk at our regular pace for 15 seconds, pick up the pace for 10 seconds and then go as fast as we can for 5 seconds. We'll continue that sequence until we hit the 15 minute mark. Cater the walking pace to YOUR fitness level to get the most out of the workout. Whether you walk, jog or run is totally up to what works best for you and your body. This is great at home workout for weight loss while also getting stronger and more toned. If you're used to working out with 'Improved Health', this is considered an intermediate level workout. Total step count today is 2726 steps (if you go at my pace). If you jog or run, your step count will be much higher.

Your brain picked up the wavelengths of mine after literally just reading an article about the effectiveness of intervals. The best part is that YOU made them easy by being the timer -- and adding the peppy, motivational music!

Jules you are s-o-o good. I'm sorry that I "found" you so late in my PD exercising, like most of the good things in my life. For almost 50 years my wife was a "computer's widow". So only after being diagnosed with PD I started exercising mostly with physiotherapist and the web sites for parkinsonians. Noone does a decent walking exercises. At 90 degrees weather and the big city I cannot walk at decent speed outside. As to today's session I'm somewhate proud of myself. I did all the walking part without reducing the speed of playback. I rate my performance about C+. The cooldown I was not as good. I have a major balance problem which in spite of my efforts still unresolved. Also, my body flexibility is the same as of an old oak-tree. Jules, I remain your loyal student

It might be a nice workout to mix in 1-2 times a week. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Good morning Jules! I love your workouts! I have been working out ( treatment plan), with you for almost two years! I am almost 61 with a diagnosis of panic anxiety disorder..ie: a mental illness. I love how you sometimes address mental health in your workouts.. like raising your endorphins with a 10 minute exercise etc. Means the world to me. Exercise is SO beneficial for anxiety and depression and can lift you out of that. I really enjoy your workouts and thank you for your grace, friendliness and warmth in each workout.:) Also.. after working out with you.. my labs were better and my prediabeties went down below the cut off point to where I’m not prediabetic at the moment. Also.. may I ask..are you Canadian? The “ about” and other words you say has that distinctive Canadian accent. I lived in Canada for 7 years in my younger days. Hugs to you!! Xo

Thanks so much for your great feedback, Lisa. I'm glad that you noticed I focus on mental health in some of the videos because I am a firm believer in exercise helping us just as much mentally as it does physically. I have worked with a lot of people in my regular job (my day job) who suffer with severe anxiety and depression, so yes, I definitely like to focus on more than just the exercise:) I am from Canada...glad to read that you got a chance to live here for 7 years. Hopefully it was somewhere close to the US border or out west where the temperatures are milder.😉Then again, there are so many beautiful places in Canada to live despite the cold winters!

Hi Carole, muscle does weigh more than fat but it takes A LOT of strength training to gain weight. I lift heavy in my own workouts and my weight has hardly shifted on the scale. Strength training is incredibly important as we age since it speeds up our metabolism, helps with balance and keeps our bones and muscles strong. Focusing on how you feel and seeing all the other benefits like lower blood pressure, lower blood sugars, etc., is far better than what a scale shows:)

Hi Gail, I actually recommend not using weights in the faster walking workouts. If you can, just focus on your pace and go at the best pace that works for you. To get the most benefits, I would suggest doing a separate strength workout to really challenge the muscles from a strength perspective. Something like the 15 min strength workout (3x a week) that I uploaded recently which is short, but with lots of effective exercises. On another note, I want to thank you for a comment you wrote yesterday (or the day before). I took time for me today and enjoyed a 90 min mountain bike ride (along with my husband), which I haven't done in years (I usually road ride simply because it takes less time because I just hop on my bike rather than have to drive to trails). I now plan to make it a weekly occurrence. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride today so thank you for your thoughtful comment.🫂

Thanks for your feedback, Lisa. I actually wouldn't recommend walking backwards (other than the 3 steps forward and backward that we sometimes do in my workouts). Walking backwards can increase fall risks (can't see holes on grass, or curbs, etc.) Instead of walking backwards, I'd recommend following some of the balance videos on YT. I have several on my channel (and so do others, too). The other thing that will help with balance is getting stronger legs. Doing squats, lunges or any other leg strengthening exercise will absolutely help with balance. I hope that helps!

My suggestion is to do as much as you can, and take breaks as needed. I'll also be adding more standing workouts soon to my chair channel which will be a combination of standing and seated exercises. These will help you to get stronger since you won't have to stand the entire time. I hope this info helps. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Hi! I usually do change up the moves but each workout has a different format, and the walking is what works for this one. The purpose is for people to walk, jog or run to cater the workout to their fitness level and they wouldn't be able to do that if I had more complicated moves. Hopefully you'll enjoy some of the other workouts I create.

Buen día! Lista 🙋♀️para la rutina !
Be still my heart...NOT! 😄Another new and great Monday workout, heart-stompin' and butt kickin' fun! I hope you're a KZread millionaire or getting close to it - you definitely deserve it! I make sure I play the full ad on your videos and don't hit skip (no matter how much I want to...), I heard that helps! I encourage all your followers to do the same 😊

Thanks SO much for allowing the ads to play to the end, Yvonne. I appreciate that! Far, far, far from being a YT millionaire! I don't have nearly enough subscribers or views for that. I shall keep plugging away at providing the videos that I hope my viewers will enjoy. I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

You can absolutely continue these exercises as long as your knee and shoulder allow you to. With arthritis, avoid exercising during a flare up, and ice if needed. Avoid any of the movements that you know will aggravate your shoulder (we all have different aches and pains but modify any moves that feel uncomfortable). If the overhead shoulder movements bother you, just reach forward instead and don't lock your elbows when you reach (keep them more bent). As for the benign tumor, that is something to ask your specialist (ask if there are any movements that should be avoided). I hope that helps! I create 3 levels of workouts so another option is to stick with the beginner level workouts if you want workouts that are a little more gentle.

Thank you so much
How often are we supposed to do it? More than once a week?

It depends on your usual weekly routine and your fitness level. If you exercise regularly (daily), you can do this daily if you wish (but that will get boring after a while!). I'd recommend changing up the routines and doing this every 2nd day. To get the most out of the workout, cater the speeds to your fitness level. You should definitely be sweaty when you finish:)
